"Yes, but not exactly right."

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yongchang said: "As the current garrison and base for future development of human civilization, the main fleet cannot leave too far."

"Apart from the [Suhu Bird] Star Destroyer, I can only send you some [Taotie] material transport ships, with a number of about one hundred."

"Of course, in order to ensure the safety of the mining fleet, I can also assign you a frigate, composed of the [Jinwu] battleship and the [Xuanwu] frigate."

Wang Man thought for a moment, and a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face.

"Professor, are there too few starships in these 100 stars..."

"The gravitational cage generated by this is too weak, and some may appear..."

Lu Yongchang fell into deep thought again.

"Ka...da...da..."

His knuckles tapped gently on the window ridge beside him, making a rhythmic sound.

"Let war-type starships mine resources are already an emergency approach." Lu Yongchang frowned slightly, "This is not a long-term solution."

"I suggest you go and find Academician Tang Hairong."

“Redesign and manufacture a giant installation dedicated to mining and smelting.”

Wang Man nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, I get it."

...

One day later.

A small shuttle drew a round arc, crossed a huge cluster of hot iron in space, and headed towards Kepler 452b.

In the shuttle, two academicians, Wang Man and Tang Hairong, were sitting.

"Old Wang, is what you said yesterday true?!" Tang Hairong, who was sitting in the shuttle seat, asked Wang Man beside him carefully.

"Professor Lu really decided to restart the planetary fortress construction project?"

Wang Man set up a route and turned his head and glared at Tang Hairong angrily: "I'm talking about you!"

"Tell me, how many times have you asked this question?"

"No more than a hundred and fifty times, right?"

Tang Hairong scratched his head with awkward smile and said, "I'm not worried..."

"Okay, okay, the planetary fortress cannot escape, it will definitely fall on your head." Wang Man waved his hand and said, "The most important thing now is mining machinery!"

Seeing that Tang Hairong was still smiling, Wang Man pondered for a moment and emphasized again: "You have figured it out. If the mining machinery is not powerful, you can't even think about building your planetary fortress!"

"Where can I get so many resources for you?"

After the words came to an end, the smile on Tang Hairong's face disappeared instantly.

"Ahem!"

He cleared his throat and his expression became a little serious: "I said Lao Wang, you are looking for the right person in this matter!"

"When I saw the mining plan two days ago, I wanted to say that there is no reason to let war-type starships go to mining."

"This, isn't this a pure waste!"

"Professor Lu is right!"

"It's time to build a big guy who is specifically used for mining!"

As he spoke, Tang Hairong became excited again: "At that time, we will send a mining machine to every star system around us."

"Good guy, can we use up all our resources?"

Looking at Tang Hairong who was immersed in fantasy, Wang Man's mouth twitched slightly twice.

...

Small shuttles are very fast.

During the chat, the shuttle arrived next to a medium-sized command ship transformed from a engineering ship.

This is the command center of the Jugang Project and the office location of Academician Tang Hairong.

The port gate slowly opened, and the shuttle sailed into the command ship under the control of the carrier-based computer.

More than ten minutes later.

A burst of rapid footsteps sounded in the corridor in the central area of ​​the command ship.

At the same time, Tang Hairong's hidden excitement sound came from afar.

"Come on, Lao Wang, I'll show you a big baby."

Wang Man: "???"

I always feel that something is wrong, is it his illusion?

Wang Man followed Tang Hairong into the office with a suspicious look on his face.

"Click."

The office door was closed.

A few seconds later, a slight scream came from the door.

...

"Damn it?!"

Wang Man looked at the holographic image in front of him and exclaimed in a low voice: "Isn't this Dyson Ring?"

"Yes, but not exactly." Tang Hairong explained with a smile.

"This is actually the first version of the design of the circular space residence station."

"Every concentric ring can live in people, but considering that we don't have such a big demand at the moment, we have reduced it to a single ring structure."

While talking, Tang Hairong raised his hand and gently tweaked the holographic projection.

The nested structure constructed by concentric rings with six radii increments in sequence begins to rotate.

This extremely regular rotation image, reflected in Wang Man's eyes, relieved his originally a little impatient mood a little.

"So, how are you going to mining?" he asked softly, slowing down a little.

"Simple." Tang Hairong's smile even more, "Just make a little change."

"A high-energy laser generator and gravitational field generator are installed on the ring."

“Like Dyson Ring, it can ‘wrap’ the planets to be mined.”

"After the star destroyer blows the planet, the division and smelting work will be completed directly on site."

"The project is not difficult." Tang Hairong pondered for a moment, "Let's do this, give me a few years, I'll help you get a prototype."

...

3620 years of Earth Calendar.

[Star Swallower] The giant planet mining device followed the fleet to reach the target star system.

In order to keep up with the fleet's navigation speed, Tang Hairong even added a curvature engine to the [Star Swallower] in a daze.

But it has to be admitted that this operation greatly increases the efficiency of the mining team.

Wang Man stood by the porthole of the planetary command ship, looking at the six huge concentric rings on the same level in the distance, and his eyes showed a little emotion.

This is what the [Star Swallower] has not yet been expanded, which not only facilitates its navigation into curvature, but also makes it easier to "swallow" the planet into it.

Under Wang Man's gaze, [Star Swallower] slowly sailed towards the iron planet with a light gray surface covered with large and small craters.

Then, like a star ring, it was surrounded by the planet.

Under zero remote control, [Star Swallower] slowly expands and starts to rotate continuously.

The planets to be mined are located at the center of these constantly rotating concentric rings.

Accompanied by a purple light, the [Surpriser Bird] star destroyer sounded the horn of mining.

[Star-Swallower] also began to generate gravitational cages around the planets.

Everything is on track.

...

4 light years away from Kepler 452 star system.

A slightly old detector with traces of time on the surface slowly sailed forward.
